The strange career of Mark Williams-Thomas, his connections to the Madeleine McCann case and his rise to fame as the man who single-handedly exposed Jimmy Savile is another major area of interest. He claims to be a 'criminologist'.

We also had the case of Alan Pike, one of those who rushed out to Praia da Luz, and pretended to be a qualified psychologist - but was not.

Who exactly are these strange experts who surround the McCann case - and all rushed in the first few days to get involved?: Dr Joe Sullivan, Mark Williams-Thomas, Alan Pike - and also Ray Wyre, the self-proclaimed expert on sex offenders, who wrote a long article about paedophiles in the Daily Telegraph in relation to the Madeleine Mccann case on 10 May 2007, and later invited the McCanns over to spend the day with him?

'Missing People' seems to be closely connected with them all. It almost seems like they are all part of the same 'club'.

I will now bring here a post I made about iNEQE yesterday on another thread:

REPLY (to Cristobell on another thread):

The long-term relationship between Jim Gamble and the McCanns is indeed fascinating. It began of course with Jim Gamble's urgent demand to anyone who was holidaying in Praia da Luz that week: 'Send me your holiday snaps!'

And what you say is a 'cosy' relationship between Gamble and the McCanns seems to continue to this day. Not least in Jim Gamble's new work with the company he has founded: iNEQE, called this, apparently, because it is both 'innovative' and 'unique' (Wow!). Gamble has organised two conferences, in September 2013 and March 2014, with the peculiar title: 'Glimpse CSA'. The CSA stands for 'Child Sexual Abuse', so the somewhat bizarre title of these two conferences reads: "Glimpse Child Sexual Abuse". I am sure they could have thought up a better, more appropriate and suitable title.

These conferences had 5 keynote speakers.

One was Gamble himself.

Another was Dr Joe Sullivan, whose conference biography boasted that he was: "...CEOP's former Principal Forensic Physiologist, one of the foremost global experts on offender character and behaviour, the principal developer of the Behavioural Analysis Unit and adviser on major police enquiries including the Madeleine McCann investigation...

A third of the 5 keynote speakers was Mark Williams-Thomas, the self-proclaimed expert on child sex offenders who has pontificated on the Madeleine McCann case many times. He famously said that the abductions of Madeleine McCann in 2007 and 8-year-old Portuguese girl Joana Cipriano in 2005 had 'remarkable parallels', apparently being unaware that when he made this idiotic remark, Joana's mother and uncle were already two years into 16-year jail terms for the brutal murder of Joana. Incidentally, in his 'Glimpse CSA' conference biography, he modestly described himself as ,quote: "TV presenter, criminologist, child protection expert and former detective; the man who unmasked Jimmy Savile as one the UK's worst predatory paedophiles".

It does seem remarkable that 3 out of 5 keynote speakers at a Child Sexual Abuse Conference should all have such a very close connection with the McCann case, especially since, after 7 years of investigations costing tens of millions, we have no idea whether Madeleine was a victim of child sexual abuse or not.

ALL middle aged men with a particular 'penchant' for the 'safety' of underaged girls!

Do they 'exchange' their 'horrific' photos/videos of 'abuse' between themselves?

It would certainly be a good 'cover' for a 'ring' wouldn't it?

'Research, ol' boy, research'

Mr Walsh said: "Within two minutes a madam came up to us and said, 'What are you looking for?' and Mr Gamble said: 'We're looking for young girls' ' She brought over three or four girls that were (about) 12 or 13 years old - very, very young."

Mr Gamble told her they wanted younger girls, Mr Walsh said. He said the woman replied: "What do you want? We have six and seven-year-old boys and girls. I can arrange that off premises."-------------------------------------------------Mr Gamble said: 'We're looking for young girls'

Mr Gamble told her they wantedyounger (than 12/13 years old) girls.

Just the sort of questions you'd expect a middle aged male 'executive' (self appointed) of INEQE to be asking........................NOT!

However, he is not a police officer. In fact, he left Surrey Police under very controversial circumstances (see 'The Mark Williams-Thomas thread').

If he is not a police officer and not authorised by a named police force to view such images, he may be committing a criminal offence.

ETA:

Dr Joe Sullivan is Co-Director of Mentor Forensics, along with his co-partner Valerie Sheehan: http://mentorforensics.com/key-staff/ He does a lot of work for the courts on child sexual abuse cases.

But then so did Ray Wyre.

Valerie Sheehan is quoted in this article:

‘Unhelpful’ preconceptions on online child abuseBy Claire O’Sullivan

Monday, October 28, 2013We must stop thinking that those viewing online child pornography are a lower risk to children than a person convicted for sexually abusing a child, according to a leading child protection consultant.

As online child abuse is a recent phenomenon, there is a lack of academic research in the area and subsequently, a number of "unhelpful" preconceptions have taken root, said Valerie Sheehan, a director of Mentor Forensic Services.

However, she says "the more we research in this area, the more we understand that the nature of harm that these offenders can pose can be very broad".

A study in the US showed that amongst internet offenders undergoing treatment, 85% admitted to having sexually abused minors. Lie detector tests backed up their assertions.

"You must remember that the average age that a child is first aroused by another child is 13.5 years and so when dealing with online offenders, we need to ask them about their past as well as their future," Ms Sheehan told a child protection and social work conference in Cork.

"It is vitally important that a thorough assessment is carried out on those who are caught with abusive online images. This must be done so that proper safeguarding can take place."

She said children who sexually abuse before the age of nine are not doing it for sex but more often because of violent, sexually violent, and neglectful childhoods.

Fiachra Ó Súilleabháin, a principal social worker in Cork, told the conferences focus groups have been held where teenage girls have admitted to researchers that they are having sexual encounters with older men they meet online and gay teenagers are also meeting older gay men.

Dr Ó Súilleabháin warned that research does show that young people with "a greater sense of self" are less likely to take part in risky sexual behaviour.

Meanwhile, a psychologist said children as young as 10 are sexting and that it is widespread in secondary schools. Director of Internet Safety for Schools Ireland, Maureen Griffin, said parents need to talk to their children about sexting — sending explicit texts and pictures by phone.

One in four second-level students who responded to questionnaires admitted they had sent sexts, said Dr Griffin.

I think it is suspicious that not only do the McCanns' suggest paedophilia as a motive for Madeleine's 'disappearance, they also suggest that Madeleine and the twins may have been drugged. Kate gives much weight to both these. So I think that these provide important clues as to what may have happened to Madeleine.

Interestingly, despite Kate claiming that she noticed a strange stain on Madeleine's pyjama top on the morning she disappeared (to effectively lend weight to a suggestion that the 'abductor' may have entered the apartment the night before and drugged her but fled empty-handed) the McCanns wait THREE months to have hair analysis done on. By which time it is likely to be a waste of time.

This child sex abuser was caught when the parents - who had trusted him with their children due to his status as a police doctor - became suspicious as their child was so sleepy and hair analysis tests revealed they had been drugged with sedatives and then sexually abused.

So very true Jean Munroe. I do wonder what kind of "research" Mark Williams Thomas and other unqualified "researchers" of child pornography achieve, and what benefit it affords abused children. Do they hand their information thus gleaned to the relevant authorities? Do they download and keep the images on their computers? Lastly do they get psycological counciling to help them deal with what must be a traumatic experience, or do they not find it so? A very grey area here.Imo. It could make for an excellent cover, a paedophiles Dream Job. I can't help but see a picture of a red shiny apple with corrupting worms inside.

It's shocking that the Gasper statements were withheld for so long. There are a great many red flags in this case that point in a very unpleasant direction. Yvonne Martin was suspicious of DP and the Mcs. When I look at footage of GC in various videos, I find his behaviour, body language and the words he uses strange.

Most peculiar opening page on the website, pretty hard to work out what they're offering. Could be adventure holidays for all I know.

Jim Gamble is on the board of directors so must be the right outfit but beats me what service they are offering, could we all be associates? They're asking for associates - doing what? Where'? How? This looks like something dreamt up after an intensive business course by people who are going to do errrm something, definitely something, so that must be it. Glad we've worked that out.

A police chief who heads the leading child protection agency provoked a fierce row yesterday after suggesting that paedophiles convicted of viewing child pornography should not necessarily go to prison.Jim Gamble, the chief executive of the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP), believes some sex offenders should be encouraged to seek treatment rather than serve jail terms.He said police and other agencies needed to "engage with the predators".Mr Gamble, who took the job last year after 25 years as a regular police officer, told the BBC: "We shouldn't be sending everyone that ever commits an offence - particularly of the viewing kind - to prison."Some offenders could be "managed" and dealt with by a police caution in a way that allowed them to maintain their lives and their families.It was time to adopt a more "intelligent posture" in tackling the problem. People with a "deviant sexual interest in children" should get help before they "live out that fantasy".He also suggested paedophile-related offending was taking place on a scale much greater and was more worrying than the picture disclosed in Operation Ore.This is the police inquiry into up to 7,000 Britons who used credit cards to see violent abuse of children on a US website.Mr Gamble said that in the past year there had been a 1,000 per cent increase in reports to CEOP of suspected paedophile activity.In court, many of the men convicted of downloading images in Operation Ore cases have escaped prison - usually if they were shown to have had few, "less severe" images, not to have distributed them and not to have been a frequent user of the site.Mr Gamble said each case had to be judged by its own criteria, with assessment of any offending history and the risk the man may pose.He stressed that he was not suggesting non-custodial sentences for sex offenders who raped children or "produced" images to place online. But he said there might be people "at the beginning of the spiral of abuse who are going online because they do have a sexual desire for children. These people may benefit from a police caution and management" in the community.Michele Elliott, the director of the children's charity, Kidscape, said: "I agree with him that these people need treatment. However, to treat them in the community sends a message that what they have done is not very serious."If you download child pornography, you are as guilty as those taking the photographs. A child is abused for your pleasure. That means prison."Jim Gamble is effectively saying 'we've caught people doing something that's abhorrent, but we've got too many to deal with', but that's crazy."Donald Findlater, of the child protection charity the Lucy Faithfull Foundation, said: "I agree that we must not diminish the gravity of child pornography; we mustn't assume that it's OK to look."But Jim Gamble is right that the scale of the problem is such that we simply cannot leave it to police, courts and prisons to deal with it."

Eddie and Keela alerted to items and places concerned with the McCanns - and importantly to no other items or places.

According to Eddie and Keela, the body of Madeleine McCann lay lifeless behind the sofa in Apartment 5a, clinging to the only thing from which she could derive any comfort; a soft toy called 'Cuddle cat'.

Former Met Police Chief Lord Stevens:"There was no hard evidence because of the sheer inadequacy of the Portuguese investigation. There's absolutely no chance the parents of Madeleine McCann would be charged with her murder in this country. I've been a detective at the most senior level for 30 years and have never seen such a witch-hunt, or one based on such flimsy evidence."

Ch Insp Tavares de Almeida: "Kate and Gerald McCann are involved in the concealment of the cadaver of their daughter Madeleine McCann. From what has been established up to now, everything indicates that the McCann couple, in self-defence, doesn't want to deliver the cadaver immediately and voluntarily."

Kate's book 'madeleine', Page 219: "Did they really believe that a dog could smell the 'odour of death' three months later from a body that had been so swiftly removed?"

After forensic analysis of the 'Last Photo' there is little doubt now that the pool photo CANNOT POSSIBLY have been taken on the Thursday 3rd May, but most likely on the Sunday 29th April. So, where was Madeleine at lunchtime on Thursday? We don't know, but we can begin to "purport theories" based both on strong evidence, and lack of evidence.

Dr Gonçalo Amaral, retired PJ Coordinator: "The English can always present the conclusions to which they themselves arrived in 2007. Because they know, they have the evidence of what happened, they don't need to investigate anything. When MI5 opens their files, then we will know the truth."

Ex-Met DCI Colin Sutton: "The most likely scenario is that Madeleine was stolen to order by slave traders and smuggled into Africa for a rich family who wanted a white child."

Ex-Met DCI Andy Redwood had a "revelation moment" on BBC1's Crimewatch on 14th October 2013 when he announced that Operation Grange had eliminated the Tanner sighting - which opened up the 'window' of opportunity', in accordance with their remit, to allow the staged abduction to happen.

Tracey Kandohla: "A McCann pal told The Sun Online: "Some of the savings have been siphoned off from the Find Maddie Fund into a fixed asset account, which financial experts have advised them to do. It can be used for purchases like buying a house or building equipment."

Gerry McCann called for an example to be made of 'trolls'. SKY reporter Martin Brunt doorstepped Brenda Leyland on 2 October 2014 after a 'Dossier' was handed in to Police by McCann supporters. She was then found dead in a Leicester hotel room the next day. Brenda paid the price.
